Titanic - Then and Now

In 1910, Belfast Ireland, the biggest and most luxurious party boat was being constructed. It would take two years to build, furnish, and prepare this ship, known as the Titanic, before it sailed to New York. It weighed 66,000 tons and had a hull of 40 city blocks. It would take 3,000 men to construct it. This ship was said to be unsinkable. In fact, the ship's builders were so confident of their ship they only supplied life boats …

…the surface due to a power failure. The next morning, Ballard and his crew prepared for a second try. This time, they were successful. Photographs were taken of the ship for the first time in 74 years. I feel it was important for history to attempt to find the Titanic. I hope the next stop will be the retriving and recontruction of the ship so it can be put on display for the world to view.
